The actor and musician has played Troy Barnes on Community since the show began in 2009 and formed a popular on-screen double-act with Danny Pudi's character Abed Nadir.

Glover is cutting back his commitment to the show in order to focus on his music career. The 29-year-old has released a number of EPs and one full-length album - 2011's Camp - under his rap alias of Childish Gambino.
